DR KONTRA (Mexico City) Audiovisual artist who integrates various languages (video, audio, installation and performance) to construct his platforms for experimentation. His practice revolves around human conduct as territory where fears, projections and instincts all manifest and occupy, distorting the notion of what is “real”, immediately subverting the signals of anything considered to be socially correct: comfort, excitement, money, consumption, power, order, etc. His interventions seek to generate a metaphysical experience that activates primitive instincts and emotions through expanded performance and sound mutation. http://drkontra.org/

Juanjose Rivas (Mexico City) Audiovisual artist specialized in electronic media; he employs different techniques in order to make a speech from the translation, error, obstruction, and the interference inside artistic languages. He tries to define the impossible, to reveal the hidden, to articulate the unspeakable, and to evidence the truth as an instituted lie. These are some of the conceptual approaches he uses in his work. www.juanjoserivas.info
